Interesting. I traveled some in Europe as a teenager, in the 1970'#, and I remember seeing a lot of roadside shrines in Austria and Switzerland, but I don't remember of hearing of a general pattern of having crosses to mark mountain peaks. Is this custom of recent origin?
The usual English translation is "summit cross", and Wikipedia has a nice explanation about the history.
